    I think this will be an unpopular opinion (so be it), but I have a real love-hate relationship with posts like this.

    The history is fun and fascinating and I’m glad to learn something new and interesting, but the wojak macros add nothing at all for me. They only remind me of the heavily prejudiced and hateful shit that was churned out by 4chan for more than a decade as the internet’s meme machine.

      A bit like the word queer, I think wojacks and Pepe the frog have been taken back from them which is a good thing.
